Seattle Storm’s Dominique Malonga becomes youngest player to dunk in WNBA All-Star Game history

The question around Dominique Malonga’s first WNBA dunk was never really if it would happen, but when. The Seattle Storm center found her moment during Saturday night's All-Star Game.

Malonga did not let the defense-light setting go to waste. In the second quarter, the 6-foot-6 center caught a feed from Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese and threw down the milestone dunk.

Malonga became the seventh player in league history to record a dunk in an All-Star Game, according to the Storm. The WNBA said the 20-year-old is the youngest player to accomplish the feat in the annual showcase.

Malonga is still waiting on her first regular-season dunk with the Storm after 63 games, but her ability to get above the rim has hardly been a secret. She has dunked while playing in Europe and Unrivaled.

Shortly after she was the second overall pick in last year's draft, Malonga showed off her dunking ability in her debut practice with Seattle.

Before the All-Star game tipped off, fellow Storm guard Flau'jae Johnson joked that she wouldn't speak to Malonga going forward if she didn't manage to pull off a dunk during Saturday's game.

Malonga is averaging 16.3 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in her sophomore WNBA season.
